Meditations for Pain

This series of meditations were used in a research study at the University of New Mexico for people experiencing chronic pain. 100% of participants reported that the meditations reduced their experience of pain, helped them to relax and sleep, and generally improved the quality of their lives.

They are designed to go from short to long, so that if your pain is severe and sitting is difficult, you can start with the shorter meditations, and then as you gain some skill with sitting with your pain, you can progress to the longer meditations. If you want to start with the shorter meditations and then immediately feel ready to sit for longer, you should feel comfortable to allow one meditation to flow right into the next one in the series, and you can build your practice from there.

SLEEP ISSUES

Body Scan for Relaxation

The next best thing to sleep is rest. If you can use this meditation to help you move into a state of rest, you are at least now moving in a good direction. So don't be discouraged if it doesn't put you right to sleep. Use it to put you to rest, and then see what happens.

I hope so much this helps,
